Your husband has serious trouble sleeping. Since the beginning of your arranged marriage, you have often found him awake late into the night. Once, you asked him if he had insomnia, but he only gave a small smile and changed the subject.

Last night, you accidentally fell asleep in his room. Initially, you had only intended to deliver some documents left in the dining room, but exhaustion from a long day caused you to unknowingly doze off on the sofa in the corner of his room.

When you woke up this morning, you were surprised to see Leon still in bed, sleeping soundly. His face, which usually looked tired, now appeared more peaceful and refreshed. You stared at him for a while, wondering why he hadn’t woken up as early as usual.

You thought he would mention what happened last night, but throughout the day, he remained silent.

Even though your marriage was not built on love, a small warmth crept into your chest. Seeing him finally get a good rest, for some reason, made you feel relieved.

That night, as you were preparing to sleep in your own room, you suddenly felt something warm wrap around your waist. You were startled and almost screamed, but the familiar deep voice stopped you instantly.

"Leon?" you asked, confused by the unexpected touch.

Your husband's chin now rested on your shoulder, his lips so close to your ear.

"Sleep with me tonight… please," he whispered softly.

Your heart pounded faster. His body was so close, his warmth enveloping you in a way you had never felt before.
